High hopes for Euro champs Spain

Spanish football is riding the crest of a wave following Spain's UEFA EURO 2008 victory and the record-breaking achievements of Barcelona in 2009, and La Roja are among the favourites for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.

Having been drawn alongside Honduras, Chile and Switzerland in Group H, they look well placed to make the last 16, where Brazil, Portugal and Côte d'Ivoire are all potential opponents if they top their group.
